In the EU, they still show Mexico, while google shows both names:
Green Apple Splatter! Well, my next mobile phone will most likely be an Android.
Sorry, Google maps bested Apple maps in the ass licking contest already.
Let me introduce you to our Lord and Savior, GrapheneOS
In my view, the only ones that really care are the people whose opinions don’t matter. The Gulf of Mexico will always be the Gulf of Mexico, regardless of what it may legally be called. Much the same way, in my view, X will always be Twitter, And Zuckerberg will always be POS.
Sears Tower
Staples Center
6th Avenue
Gulf of Mexico
I don’t give a shit who thinks it should change, I’ll use the original names forever
I think it’s just disgusting to see these companies I am dependent on bowing down to Trump’s bullshit.
The one group that does understand class solidarity are the wealthy. They’re not bowing to him because they’re all in sync.
True, for me America is and has always been Wankistan
Par for course
This really is the dumbest timeline. I can’t even make up satire shit that is more wild than what is now.
Just waiting for the TVA to prune us.
It’s like the shitpost version of blitzkrieg. Just overwhelming you with absolute diarrhea for the soul. And it’s working, even though we all know it’s happening.
You know, I had the shitty thought that at least back before chat communication, a robber baron (or it’s equal kind) had to actually hire thugs and henchmen to cause local chaos. Now it’s just some tech oligarch with some bots or a paid anonymous service causing disruption.
We really got fucked over on this one. I’m really not sure how America pulls itself out of this one with the state of education and political polarization. The federal part of our government definitely isn’t offering up any solutions.
You expressed it well. The best solution to our generational crisis is one that takes a generation or so to build-up (education) and that Republicans have already spent at least a generation already tearing down. We’re sitting ducks.
It’s like the dark ages
It’s the endarkenment.
That’s their plan.
Reported an issue with the name. I know I’m shouting into the void on this but a small poke in the eye makes me feel better.
I tried to do that, but it won’t let me select the name of bodies of water.

Well seeing as how Tim was right up there next to Sundar I’m not the least bit surprised.
Corpos gonna corp.
Put all borders in Sharpie, you Apple cowards!!
Unlike Google they still have a “report issue” button active.
And I will continue to use it until they take it away
They don’t have to take it away, they can just set up the backend to blackhole those requests. So presence of the report issue facility does not imply they actually will ever even see the issue.
Did my part
Same
Me too!
I wish this was the in top 10 reasons to be upset with the US right now.
When you go to report an issue, and select “Name is wrong”, the send button never activates, whereas “something else” will.
So this is a bit of capitulation that seems to be hard coded and they just don’t want to hear about it.
Correct it to Gulf of Mexico in the name field and then the send button activates
Well, yeah, because the United States Geographical Service is the source of truth for geographical names. No surprise Google and Apple follow it. There’s a little more breakdown than that, but that’s the gist of it.

The change is fucking stupid, you know it, I know it, we all know it. Save your fucking ire for all the real shit going down. In comparison, this doesn’t rate a single breath.
This is correct, given a new administration can simply change it back to keep it in line with the rest of the world. Won’t do us much good if there isn’t a next administration, though.
The speed at which these people are capitulating is alarming. I mean it took them decades to even begin to do any kind of rainbow capitalism and they all ditched it like a hot potato in a split second.
